I have Outlook 2010, but quite like the way Windows 10 mail works. In
Outlook 2010 I have several folders of email addresses. W10 mail imports my basic ontacts folder, but I would like to import the other folders
seperately from contacts. Is there a way?

Probably :)

You can definately export your contacts from Outlook 2010. File, Import
and Export, Export, choose csv or .PST file - it will depend on how
you'll import.

And how you'll import will depend on the account you have (Gmail,
Outlook.com, ISP account, etc etc).

You may need to import then, using the People app... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14103/windows-8-people-app-help

I think you're missing the rich irony here.

This is trademark behavior of WLM :-)

It does stuff like this for you.

WLM can be used for email. But for USENET,
using a separate application is recommended.
That's my suggestion. For one, these little
"signature accidents" won't happen.

You will notice WLM users trying to "fudge"
their usage of WLM, by top-posting. As that is
the easiest way to make it look like WLM is
somehow USENET-compatible. Then they'll give you
some story about "how they like to top-post",
when in fact all they're doing is hiding the
inadequacy of WLM for the job.

A rich tradition of irony, that WLM.

Fyi...to import contacts into the Win10 for use in the Win10 Mail app you'll ne ed to have at least one syncable email address
account setup that uses the People app since the People app(the app that manage s contacts) only works with online accounts, unlike
the Mail app which supports POP3, IMAP, EAS, and Exchange account protocols.

Contacts can be added to the Win10 People app by:
a. adding a syncable account(s) - e.g. Outlook/Live/Hotmail/MSn.com or Office36 5 or Exchange, Google/Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud.
b. importing contacts from csv via the web UI People app for the respective Mic rosoft account
c. manually adding contacts(one at a time) in the Win10 People app.

I have a couple of outlook/hotmail addresses that I only use for access to
W10 and have no desire to inform/confuse 1000 people that I have a new
address.
However pretty W10 Mail looks on my desktop, it's nevr going to import

not the solution for desktop.
I guess I'll have to stick with Outlook 2010 and do my serious emailing

As much as I dislike Windows Live Mail, if you're talking about
newsreaders, Windows Live Mail is *much* better than Outlook 2010; No
version of Outlook has ever had newsreading capability.

If you're talking about e-mail clients, as far as I'm concerned, any
version of Outlook is much better than Windows Live Mail.

Not at all true. None of us is forced to try to untangle such a
message. Just ignore it.

Or better, if someone insists on using it and doesn't do what is asked
for by the many people in the newsgroup who requests that he stop
using it, just killfile him, as many of us here have done.

No, not really. Everyone is missing the thread purpose from the 'op' Jim S.
- digressing into the usual WLM banter rather than addressing the original post

The op said "quite like the way Windows 10 mail works" and expressed a desire to import Outlook 10 Contacts from various OL10
contacts subfolders into the Win10 Mail app.

The irony - most everyone missed the op's point and request on how to export OL 10 Contacts for use in the Win10 Mail app.

Since the op has now decided to continue use of OL10 in lieu of the Win10 Peopl e app even though misunderstanding the need to
change email addresses all the other WLM discussion remains unrelated.

You can do all that in Outlook too - multiple accounts that is.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Outlook 2010 is the last
(oldest) version of Outlook that works in Windows 10 - earlier versions
do not.
